Russia entering the G8 would be the final nail (of many) in the coffin of the βLiberal International Orderβ β by acknowledging the removal of βliberal democracyβ as a marker of status.
It would also beg the question: if Russia, why not China?

The idea that the mega-embassy should be denied because 'the Chinese could tap into our fibre-optic cables' just doesn't sound very convincing.
Anyone could discreetly buy or rent a basement office in the City and take it from there, surely?

Fact is: Trump does not care about the 'Liberal International Order', and hence doesn't see concessions in Ukraine in quite the same way as Europe's mostly liberal leaders do.
Bluntly put: he doesn't give a damn about Ukraine.
Maybe time for European leaders to snap out of their denial.

Sad to see some in Europe still clinging to the illusion that Trump is 'being played' by Putin.
That assumes that Trump has the same priorities as Europeans (or his predecessors). (1/2)

Once-favoured Z-bloggers now face repression as Kremlin begins to eat its own
This is about the regime keeping everyone in line through fear - possibly out of a realisation that upholding 'normalcy' in Moscow e.a. is going to become more difficult going forward.
